CABINET.

Application filed May 6,

T tomobile gasoline and oil stations, the cabi net being constructed toaccommodate a V large number of receptacles containing difprovided with a door 11,

i 12 which cabinet when desired,

plication, like 30 5-5 of Figu ferent grades of oil, any one of which receptacles can be conveniently removed-from the while the cabinet is also designed to take care of any waste 'or spilt oil, .the latter being conveyed to a suitable container from the bottomof the cabinet. Y

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying-drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed. V

In the drawings forming part ofthis apnumerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the cabinet constructed in accordance with the invention. n Figure 2 ma view, showing the cab net in 1 vertical section.

Figure 3 is a plan view of one of the shelves designed to support the oil container. Figure 4 is a plan view of the support for said shelf and designed to constitute 'a tra v 4 igure 5 is a sectional view taken on line rel.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 10 indicates .aecabin'et which may be constructed from any suitable material and vary in size and cross sectional configuration without departing from the spirit of the invention. The cabinet is however preferably of cylindrical formation in cross section, and

so that access ma e readil had to the cabinet when desire Arrange within the cabinet is a-standard supports a plurality of shelves to this standard net.

be hereinafter specifically described, and

passes through suitable bearings 13 forming part of brackets 14 which are terminally secured to the cabinet as shown. The standard 12 is journaled in a roller bearing 15 at the top of the cabinet, while at the lower end of standard journaled in ball bearings 17. The standard terminates an appreciable distance above the bottom of the cabinet, and

reposing upon the bottom of the cabinet is a receptacle 18 which is adapted to receive the-oil which may possibly be spilled within the cabinet, and this oil is conveyed to the receptacle in a manner to be hereinafter described.

. Supported by the standard 12 is a plurality of spaced super-imposed shelves, each shelf being in the form of a disk and indithe latter is the .cated at 19, while the disk 19 reposes upon a support of similar configuration and which support is indicated at. 20. The shelf proper is provided with acircu'mferential series-of openings 21 of a size to accommodate containers 22, and it is obvious that each shelf can thereby support a plurality of such containers 22, so that difi'erent rades' and qualities of oil can be kept within the cabi- Each support 20, and this support 20 is formed to provide a plurality of radially disposed corrugations 23, the corresponding inner extremities of .said corrugations communicating, or leading into the standard 12. It is of course to be understood that the standard 12 is hollow, so that any waste or spilled oil will be conveyed throng to the standard 12, passing through the latter to the receptacle 18 above referred to. While the cabinet may be .used in any particular place, it is primarily intended to h the corrugations have this cabinet arranged at the curb adjacent the gasoline tank, so that oil can be dispensed with the same convenience that gasoline .is now dispensed with, it being only necessary to open the door of the cabinet and turn the standard together with the shelf-in order to brin the proper container 22 within reach o the user.

While it is believed that from the foregoing' description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it-understoodthat I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and m I Q i r 1,471,594
